I went to Mardi Gras three times before I found out there was a religious meaning behind it. I don't have much to give up right now. Maybe next year.

Oh boy, another year, another smart-ass thread about giving up lent for lent.

I'm giving up booze again. I didn't quite make it through last year...so close.

You're welcome


I'm going to give up booze this year as well since I've noticed an uptick in my consumption lately.
